1. The beauty of the mansion At the beginning of this story, it was unremarkable and very ordinary.However, it cannot be summed up in one stroke, and a fairly detailed description is required.Because what followed was a very astonishing change, so bizarre that it was unbelievable. At the beginning, in the evening, there was a torrential rain, the raindrops hit the ground, and the splashes were slightly higher. The thick raindrops made a mist between the dark sky and the earth, and the vision was unclear. The scenery about three meters away , it is already unclear. The location is in a high-end residential area of ​​the city, located on a hill, and it is a 24-storey building.There is only one unit on each floor of this building, and the area of ​​each unit is more than 500 square meters. People who live in such a building are naturally either rich or expensive. The monthly management fee charged by the building to residents exceeds The average person's monthly salary.

There is an open space at the main entrance of the building. In the center of the open space is a pool. In the middle of the pool is an artistic statue. There are fountains around the pool. Although it is raining heavily, the fountain is still in operation.Of course, the sound of the fountain has been completely covered by the sound of rain.The building has a complete security system and a 24-hour shift system for security guards.The lobby of the building is very spacious, covered with marble, and has an extraordinary momentum. There are two sets of comfortable sofas, flowers that change daily, and indoor plants that grow very luxuriantly.

The security guard is on duty. In the right corner of the lobby, there are many closed-circuit televisions monitoring the situation in the elevator, the corner of the stairs on each floor, and the halls on each floor. Automatic video recording equipment. The security work is naturally strict, which is what the residents of this building are satisfied with.But naturally, it is absolutely impossible to get everyone's praise for everything. Several rich people who planned to build a golden house in this building gave up after visiting this building.There are also many young, playboy-type rich men who originally planned to build several units in this building as a tryst place for beauties, but after visiting the building, they also canceled this plan.

The reason they gave up is the same. The building has such a strict security system, and everyone is under surveillance when entering and exiting. There is no personal secret at all. How can there be any adulterous activities?It is true that there is very little possibility of carrying out sneaky activities in this building, but for people who behave aboveboard, tight security is the guarantee of a safe residence! The security measures of this building are described in detail, because of the strange things that happened, which are somewhat related to it. In a high-end building like this, there are very few people living in it. There are several units, and even one person lives alone.Some units are vacant for most of the year, and only when the owner's footprints appear in the city by chance, will they live in, maybe only live for a day or two, and then travel around.

There are also some units, although they are vacant, but the owner is hospitable, so there are often friends of the owner who come to this city and are introduced by the owner to live in this building. Whenever this happens, the security director or deputy director must ask someone to have a house. The master's autographed letter of introduction confirmed that the visitor was really the master's friend before being accepted, although most of the visitors had the keys lent by the master. Except for this kind of temporary residents, the security team is very familiar with the residents of the entire building.

Alright, let's introduce the situation of this Fugui Building, and let's stop for a while. The name of this building is exactly Fugui Building.Characters should start to appear.The first characters to appear are security guards A and B.Every security guard naturally has a name. There are six security guards in total, plus the director and deputy director. They are not important characters in the story. It is difficult to remember the names one by one, but it is easy to cause confusion, so Just follow the treatment of secondary characters in movie scripts, calling them A, B, C, D is simple and clear.

There are also four administrators in the building, who are responsible for cleaning, renovation, etc., and together with the security guards, they can be collectively referred to as the staff of the building. Next to the parking lot on the ground floor of the building, there are six rooms where the staff of the building who are willing to stay can live. Security guards A and B, at that time, looked at the main entrance of the building. It was a huge carved glass door. The carved picture came from the story of Poseidon, the sea god in Greek mythology, who split the rock to attract spring water.

Outside the gate is an open space. On the glass door, there is a eaves protruding about two meters. At this time, the rainwater accumulated on the edge of the eaves is like a waterfall. On the open space, due to the heavy rain, the sky is dark , look out, very hazy.Security guards A and B were talking while watching the heavy rain outside.Security guards are a very boring job, so it has become a professional habit to say boring and purposeless words to each other. They don't know what they are talking about at all.At 6:21, the CCTV surveillance system dinged. This is a very advanced automatic device, indicating that a moving object has entered the surveillance range, which has attracted the attention of the security personnel.

At this time, this automatic device worked. If it hadn't been for the ding, the two security guards who were looking outside the door would not have looked back. They looked at the fluorescent screens. The fluorescent screens are a whole set, and the slant diameter of each frame is 20 centimeters, which is not very large, but the situation on the screen can be seen very clearly. The number of fluorescent screens is fifty, showing the situation of the public facilities of the entire building. They saw that there was a moving object on one of the screens. It was a person walking from the door of a unit, through the lobby, towards the elevator, and reached out to press the button of the elevator.

There are a total of five lifts in the building. Since there are not many residents, there are more than enough. One resident has lived in the building for a year and has never even used the same lift with other residents at the same time. Security guards A and B immediately recognized that person as Mr. Wei who lived on the 22nd floor. They also knew that Mr. Wei was a well-known and successful architect, a tall middle-aged man with an extraordinary bearing.The security guard had a good impression of him because he was a big spender. And when Mr. Wei spends money, it is mostly when he brings famous beauties in the city into his luxurious residence, and his request is: no video recording!

Sometimes, the security guards would be very curious, because the woman next to Mr. Wei would cover her entire head and face. Naturally, it was very possible. She was a married woman, and she must not be exposed. Mr. Wei was wearing casual clothes that looked very pleasing to the eye. The elevator door opened and he walked in. There was another ding from the automatic surveillance system, and Mr. Wei went to another screen, which was in an elevator. Security guard A said: You still go out in such heavy rain? Security guard B groaned: He has five cars, no matter how heavy the rain is, he can't get a drop of water from him! Security guard A suddenly proposed: bet on which car he uses today? Security guard B is not angry: anyway, you and I don't have a car, so what's the bet? Security guard A looked at the bottom row of a group of screens, which showed the situation of the parking lot. He looked at it and said, "Mr. Wei's driver, why hasn't he appeared yet?" There are more than fifteen drivers in the building's residents. Many residents are served by drivers 24 hours a day. Usually, there are five or six drivers waiting in the driver's lounge next to the parking lot to be dispatched at any time. Usually, if the driver is needed, the owner will first notify the driver in the lounge, and the driver will go to the side of the car, and when the owner comes, he can open the door and let the owner get in the car. At this time, the parking lot was very quiet, all kinds of expensive cars were parked, and no moving objects appeared. Security guard B replied: Maybe he wants to drive by himself! As I said before, the dialogue between security guards is meaningless. While they were talking, something unexpected happened. The elevator that Mr. Wei was taking stopped in the lobby, the door opened, and Mr. Wei came out! Judging from the small screen, Mr. Wei's expression is not very clear. At this time, as soon as Mr. Wei got out of the elevator, security guards A and B saw the impatience and impatience on his face. The security guards A and B, who were originally sitting, stood up naturally as soon as Mr. Wei got out of the elevator, and said in unison: "Mr. Wei, go out?" Naturally, this is also nonsense. Usually, when the residents answer this kind of nonsense, they will nod or make a humming sound. But this time, Mr. Wei walked towards them, waving his hands anxiously: Please call me and call a taxi, and the fare will be doubled! For a while, security guards A and B will feel uncomfortable and just stand there blankly without taking any action. They all knew that Mr. Wei had five cars and drivers, so why did he call a taxi?In this heavy rain, it is very difficult to hail a taxi, because the location of the building is not an area where taxis often come and go. It wasn't until Mr. Wei repeated the words again that the two of them answered repeatedly. Security guard A went to call, and security guard B struck up a conversation with Mr. Wei. Without waiting for them to ask, Mr. Wei explained by himself: The driver asked for leave, and I don’t want to drive by myself The reason is simple, and naturally no one will ask him why he doesn't want to drive. Mr. Wei said again: I have made seventeen or eight phone calls from above, but I can't get through at all. It may be because of the rain and there are too many people asking for cars! At this time, security guard A had already dialed the radio number of the taxi company for the third time, and indeed, as Mr. Wei said, the first two times did not work! When security guard A dialed the fifth time, the phone still didn't work, and when Mr. Wei became more and more impatient, security guard B even planned to volunteer to be a driver for Mr. Wei, driving any of his cars, and taking him to Go to destination! Although that was not the job scope of the security guard, he was sure that if he did this, he would be rewarded handsomely. However, he hadn't raised this point yet, and things changed again. At this time, the sky was getting darker, so when the light of the headlights suddenly appeared in the open space outside the gate, it seemed that the light was particularly strong.Especially the heavy rain, within the scope of the light, the rain is pouring, shining with fantastic brilliance, it looks extremely eye-catching. Most of the cars of the residents of the building drive straight to the parking lot, especially when the rain is so heavy, so this car driving towards the gate is very eye-catching. Mr. Wei cheered when he saw it: a taxi ! Indeed, it was a taxi. The car had already parked in front of the gate. There was a canopy in front of the gate, so the rain could not fall, so it could be clearly seen. It was indeed a taxi. It was a common thing for a taxi to come, but when it was raining heavily and a car was urgently needed, the sudden appearance of this taxi was naturally a joy! Therefore, Mr. Wei's anxious expression was swept away, and he was already striding towards the door. At the same time, he waved to security guard A, indicating that he no longer needs to call to find a car! Security guard A also put down the phone at this moment.The two security guards were also happy for Mr. Wei, because the residents of this building seldom take a taxi back and have their own car and driver. This taxi is loaded with guests, and Mr. Wei is closest to the gate. He is also the first to see a woman in the taxi. At this time, she is paying. She takes out the money from a very delicate leather bag. The driver wants to get it back. The coin was given to her, and she waved her hand slightly, indicating that she didn't want it. During this small movement, Mr. Wei saw that the woman's hands were very white, maybe it was because she was wearing a black dress. When the woman opened the car door, Mr. Wei also pushed open the glass door of the building, and gestured to the taxi driver that he wanted a car. At the same time, he kept pushing the door, waiting for the woman to come over. Behave like a gentleman. At this time, security guard B hurried over and pushed the door with his hand. The woman walked in after getting out of the car. Comfortable and well maintained so it looks youthful, but youth is gone anyway!Her eyes were a little distracted. She glanced at Mr. Wei, smiled politely, and nodded slightly.Her smile is quite sweet, but it also looks very tired. Mr. Wei had never seen this woman before, so he also smiled back. After the woman walked over to the elevator, he naturally glanced at the security guard B beside him. The meaning of this glance is very clear, it is asking: Is this woman a resident of the building? There is no need to wait for security guard B to respond, the action of security guard A has already given the answer.Because the security guard A has rushed to the elevator, pressed the elevator for the woman, the elevator door opened, and the woman walked in. That of course means that this woman is a resident of the building. Mr. Wei walked out, and the security guard A said behind him: I just moved here, and I live on the seventh floor. Mr. Wei hummed, after seeing a beautiful woman, a man always has some wrong thoughts. When Mr. Wei bent over to get into the car, he was thinking, what is the identity of this woman?Are you single, or do you have a partner? He just sat down, and before he told the driver his destination, he saw a rather large leather bag, black crocodile leather, at his feet, not the kind of handbag, but more like a briefcase. Of course, that It is used by women, and there is no doubt that it must have been left behind by the woman who got off the car just now! Mr. Wei's first reaction was to let out a yell. At that time, the car door was not closed yet. He picked up the leather bag and waved it towards the glass door of the building. Security guards A and B immediately saw Mr. Wei's movements and pushed open the door together. Mr. Wei said, "Purse bag, that woman was left in the car just now!" The taxi driver also turned his head at this time. This driver is a rogue-headed guy. At this time, he looked at the leather bag with a very complicated expression. It can be inferred that he was thinking in his heart: If someone didn't get on the bus here, he would drive away. , This leather bag fell into his hands! I don't know what's in the purse?The leather bag alone is very valuable, maybe there are precious jewels and a lot of cash in the leather bag! Thinking of this, the driver's Adam's apple moved up and down rapidly. Of course, Mr. Wei didn't pay attention to the driver's movements, he gave the purse to the security guard A who came over, and the security guard A said: "I'll send it to her immediately!" When Mr. Wei heard this, his heart moved. He remembered the wrong thoughts he had just thought, and thought, is it a great opportunity to get acquainted with this woman by sending it up by himself? Mr. Wei had this idea, but he didn't put it into practice, because he thought that if he did this, it would be a bit of Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone would see it, so it wouldn't be worth being looked down upon by the two security guards! So, he let go, and security guard A took the bag. At this moment, he heard the driver grunt: I don't know if this purse belongs to that woman! Mr. Wei glared at the driver: Whose could it be? The driver didn't say anything, but asked very rudely: Where are you going? Although Mr. Wei was dissatisfied with the driver's attitude, he had no choice but to give the address, and the taxi drove into the heavy rain and left the building. Are things normal? It's just some trivial things in daily life. Mr. Wei came back around midnight that night. The heavy rain had stopped, and the midnight air was extremely fresh after the rain. After getting out of the car, Mr. Wei stretched his waist, took a long breath, and turned back. body.Before he opened the door, he saw the black crocodile leather bag on the desk where the security guard worked. Mr. Wei was stunned for a while. At this time, the on-duty guards were still security guards A and B. Security guards A and B also saw him, stood up and gestured to him, expressing that they had something to say to him. Mr. Wei opened the door and went in, and the two security guards said in unison: Mrs. Sun said that the purse is not hers! Mr. Wei was stunned for a moment. It was impossible. The woman got out of the car and he got in. The purse was in front of the seat. The purse was quite big, of course it belonged to the woman.The driver grunted at the time, and he glared at him. This purse does not belong to that woman, so she must have found out when she was in the car, so there is no reason not to inform the driver and let the purse stay there! In an instant, due to an accident, Mr. Wei fixed his eyes on the two security guards, and the two security guards looked back at him blankly. Mr. Wei repeated: Mrs. Sun said that the purse is not hers? Security guards A and B repeated this sentence again, and the three of them looked like fools. Originally, even if the matter was sudden, it would not be difficult to deal with it. Since Mrs. Sun (that woman) said that the purse was not hers, then she would treat it as a lost property and hand it over to the police to deal with it. It's nobody's business. But Mr. Wei has a strong curiosity. On the other hand, it is also possible that Mrs. Sun is a woman who is quite attractive to him.So he said something: It was obviously hers, why did she say it wasn't hers? At this time, Mr. Wei explained that it was hers, but it was actually his arbitrary decision. Judging from the whole process of discovering this leather bag, at most it can only be said that it is very likely to be hers, but it cannot be said that it must be hers! But the two security guards obviously didn't have that strong analytical ability. As soon as they heard what Mr. Wei said, they nodded repeatedly, expressing their agreement with Mr. Wei's statement, and repeated it again. Mr. Wei's brows were knotted, and before he further exerted his imagination and reasoning ability, he gave the two security guards a rather stern look. The two security guards immediately understood what he meant, and shouted together: We have never opened it! Mr. Wei took a breath: Could it be that she thought you had opened it? The two security guards widened their eyes. For a moment, they didn't understand the direct relationship between Mrs. Sun's refusing to recognize the purse as hers even if they had been opened. Mr. Wei waved his hand sharply, pointing Purse: If there is something shady in the purse, and she thinks it has been seen, then she has no choice but to give up the purse! After what Mr. Wei said, the two security guards came to a sudden, and their eyes fell on the leather bag together. Curiosity is common to everyone, and they were naturally thinking about the same question: what is in the leather bag? Not only did they think about it, but they also raised this issue to Mr. Wei. No matter how strong Mr. Wei's reasoning ability is, he can't answer this question, so his answer is quite humorous: anything that can be put in a purse! The two security guards laughed dryly. It is actually very simple to solve this problem. Just open the leather bag and take a look, and that's it! If Mr. Wei was alone at this time, or only security guard A or B, then there was a ninety-nine percent chance that the purse was opened to see what happened. But at this time, there are three people, each of whom is responsible for monitoring each other. The behavior of opening other people's purses belongs to the scope of immorality, so no one will do it in front of others, like Mr. Wei. Gentleman, don't even bring it up. Security guards A and B looked at Mr. Wei, waiting for his instructions. Mr. Wei put his hand on his chin, walked back and forth a few steps, put his hand on the leather bag again, and took a breath: I will take it up again and assure her that no one has opened this leather bag!Get her no doubts, and she'll change her mind! It would be useless to do so, security guards A and B knew very well, but since Mr. Wei suggested it, they were inconvenient to refute, and just said: It's too late, I'm afraid Mrs. Sun has already rested! Mr. Wei raised his eyebrows: She lives alone? Security Guard A laughed: Yes, same as you! Mr. Wei picked up the leather bag and patted it twice: it belongs to her, if she dare not admit it because of a misunderstanding, it is not a good thing, right? The two security guards shrugged and said it was up to you, so Mr. Wei took the leather bag and walked towards the elevator. When he got into the elevator and the elevator door was not closed, he asked: "Seventh floor?"Security guards A and B nodded, the elevator door closed, and the elevator began to go up.
